Vice-President Potter and other
officials of the Union Pacific were
in town the other morning on a
special. While here they ordered
Mr.. Conway, the station agent, to
make the necessary arrangements
with the Pacific Hotel lessee to fur
nish the passengers with dinner.
Mr.. Conway has since received or
ders countermanding the eating
arrangements. While the senseless
boycott of last year may have been
the cause of this change, it is
thought that the hotel company
will give a lunch at Glenn's Ferry
and thus keep the all business in
their own hands. In any event it
is a black eye for Caldwell.

constitutional prohibitory amend
ments have been defeated by large
Emajorities; not because the temper
ance spirit is not strong in those
states, but because constitutional
prohibition of liquors is regarded
by many as the first step in the
curtailment of the absolute person
al liberty which is the boast of our
civilization. This once encroached
upon, the foundation for other meas
ures, more or less obnoxious, is
laid, and Capitalization, the rock
upon which republics go to pieces,
is the result. If this aspect of the
prohibition question could be safely
set aside, the measure would no
doubt have the support of many
who have no compromise to offer to
the saloon, but are compelled to an
measure so doubtful in
it's effects The vote on the amend
ment in Oregon, judging from re-
ports, will be close, with chances
slightly favoring the defeat of the
proposition. Apostles of prohibit

Don't Kill the Goose That Lays the
Golden Egg.

Fargo Argus 1t now looks as though
the legislature, if it does anything, will
fool around with the railroad laws until
all new lines will be killed off and those
already built be kept in hot water. Da-
kota needs to foster every foot of rail-
raad; that's what's making her noted
among the nations of the earth. To
strike at her railroad improvements and
extensions is to hit Dakota where she
lives. What would the territory be with
out the four great systems penetrating
her every section--the Northwestern, the
Milwaukee, in the south the NortherR
Pacific and Manitoba in the north? The
Minneapolis & PuciGc~now knocking at
the door Of Central Dakota, and the Rock
Island just within her borders It's a
mistake to threaten these lines with an
noying legislation. This may not read
well with a sort of disturbing element;
but it's fact Let the railroads alone.
They pay taxes on all they have, and are
willing to build more to pay taxes on.
The repeal OF the gross earnings law is
suicidal. Corporations do not want to
be annoyed by having to settle with every
town or county. If the per cent is not
right, alter it; ; but don't disturb the plan
of collection, which has been satisfac-

THERE are few "smart-aleck' scrlb-
blers in Dakota who seek to ridicule all
legislation for the benefit of the farmers.
In that strain Couselor Douglas, of Bis
marck, writes to his paper regarding the
bill of Representative Shook providing a
bounty of and cents per head, respec
lively, for the destruction of pocket and
common gophers, and which passed the
house recently. George calls 1t an cab
surb' bill. 1t is, on the contrary, one of
the most practical and satisfactory bills
that has been presented this session. 1t
is legislation entirely necessary. Every
farmer in this county of farmers ap-
proves it. Many counties have hereto
fore paid bounties but, in the absence
of general effort throughout the terri
tory, little could be done. The gopher
bounty bill provokes the ridicule only
of fools or those without knowledge of
or care for the needs of the farming
class. Every sensible man knows that
gophers did more damage to crops in
Dakota last year than hail or drought.
As we heard wheat-raser remark
Either the gophers or the farmers in
Dakota will have to emigrate."

The N. P.,s Seed Grain.

BISMARCK, Feb. 15.-Mapy erronsous
Impressions have become prevalent,
through tho press and otherwise, in rela-
ton to the distribution of seed grain by
the Northern Pacific railroad company.
Some people seem to think that the MAN.
agement of the road have just undergone
violent spasm Of generosity, and are
going to deliver great piles of grain at
every station along the line, which any
farmer can have by taking the trouble to
haul it away. Others seem to look upon
the measure as a shrewd business move
by the road to increase their freight re.
celpts this coming fall. Neither Of these
ideas is correct. The action of the road
in this case is in exact accord with tho
policy they have carried out for several
years to benefit settlers along their line.
Their reductions of passenger and freight
rates. when the increase of business along
the line of the road warranted it, is a
part Of the same policy. Since tho short

Moral Superiority of Women.

The New York Sun relates story illus
trating the moral superiority of woman
A Boston philanthropist and student of
human nature bought dozen cheap UNI
brellas, had nickel plate inserted in each
handle on which was his address and the
request that the umbrella be returned.
On the first rainy day he went out on the
street and handed one to each umbrellas
less woman that he met. All but one
were returned within week, and in place
OF that came note saying that the um.
brella had been stolen and that the writer
would pay for it. Ho replaced the one
lost, and on another rainy day handed the
umbrellas to twelve unprotected men.
He never saw but ono of them again, and
that was brought in by friend who said
he had stolen it at church festival.
And yet women are denied the ballot

The New Judge from New York.

The New Judge from New York.
lankton Press and Dakotaian: It may
be that the press of Dakota is expected to
congratulate the people of the territory
over the prospective arrival Of another
Immigrant from the state of New York.
He is even now packing his grip, and as
soon as his extradition papers are ar
ranged by the president and the senate
he will turn his nose toward the setting
sun, and will halt not until he finds him
self inside the circle of tho electric glare
which lights the way into Huron. The
people of that exuberant burg vii. be at
the depot to meet this latest recipient of
presidential honors, and before he is
out of the car Judge Spencer will be
made to believe that. while Dakota has
managed to get along without him, it
never experienced the full measure of
prosperous happiness until he was named
for judicial place. There will be
speeches to that effect. This is the west.
ern way. 1t costs nothing, and makes
the migratory democrat feel comfortable.
We are pleased to observe that Mr.. Cleve-
land is drawing somewhat heavily upon
New York. If he keeps on, the slight
democratic majority of that state will be
swallowed up in the DISTINGUISHED mass
of Dakota ublicanisn--thrown away
and entirely lost. 1t is therefore an act
of undo1bted political propriety for the
Press and Dakotaian tn conrratnIo+a the
people of Dakota on this appointment.
There is even no objection that we know
Of to an occasional mugwump.

HAIL INSURANCE.

Recently the Grand Forks Plaiudealer
enunciated new prin ciple in the matter
of hail insurance. At first thought the
idea is of somewhat startling nature !;
but, after careful consideration, it is
shorn of all appearance of radicalism and
seems nothing but righteous and
buslnesslike proposition. The Plain
dealers plan is that the present legisla-
ture pass law authorizing the farmers
of the territory to resolve themselves into
one vast insurance company, OF which
township, county and territorial officers
shall be the receiving and dsbursing me-
diums. AS the township assessors pro-
ceed in their assessments let the farmers
turn in the number of acres of their crop
they wish insured. The township asses
sor makes his returns to the county
auditor, who in turn will extend upon
the tax books the regular rates of insur-
ance-say 25 cents per acre-along with
the regular taxes. The farmer pays his
insurance the same as he pays his other
taxes-to the county treasurer. That
official will keep separate insurance ac-
count, and will from month to month
pay over the amounts received to the ter
ritorial treasurer. In this way there is
absolutely no cost for dong business, ex-
cepting the adjustment, and no profits
to divide. 1t will be claimed, of course,
that the territory has as much right to go
into the banking or other business as it
has that of insurance. But it should be
remembered that nearly everybody in Da-
kota farms more or less, and that our
professional and business men are wholly
dependent on the prosperity of the
territory's agricultural interests. 1t is
our chief industry, and easily overtops
all others combined. This Plaindealer
scheme would give lis cheap--and, above
all. reliable-lnsurance, and would, we
think, prove to be without single draw
back. If only portion of the territory
were subject to hail-storms, there might
be some question as to the fairness of i'm
posing duties on territorial officers fo1
the sole benefit of the inhabitants of such
portion. But that is not the case, as all
Dakota, in common with other western
states; IS subject to occasional hail. A
legislature that would pass such law
ought to be immortalized, and the editor
who originated the idea should have q
monument of more durable material than
hailstones.

crops of the past season they have beer
hauling feed at nominal rates. Theil
rates on seed grain have always been very
low, and they now give one-half tariff
rates on seed grain. The management,
OF the road keep themselves well Uniformed
of the condition of the settlers along
their line, through every available source,
and they now recognize the fact that
many of the farmers, particularly new.
comers, have been placed in embarrassed
circumstances the past year, especially
| those who came with small means. Some
of them have no seed grain, have nc
! property upon which they might obtain
| money, have no established credit, and
are distant from business houses which
could carry them until fall. These cases
are being diligently found by the De.
partment of immigration of the road,
| and these will be furnished with seed fo1
the acreage which they now have read y
for seeding, and for which they must re.
turn bushel for bushel in the fall There
are cases where it would be possible to
obtain seed by mortgaging furniture
cows, and perhaps everything, at a high
rate of interest and in deserving cases of
this natnre seed will be furnished 1t is
expected that those who can procure seed
without the assistance of the road will do
so. The management feel that the bust
ness independence of farmers would be
much prejudiced by free and unlimited
distribution of seed,. and the capacity of
the road will be severely taxed by what
the management feel compelled to do in
this direction. There are but few farmers
who have been in this country the past
three or four years who are not amply
prepared to bridge over this one year s
failure. But, on the other hand, while
the road is displaying the greatest gene
rosity in this matter, this seed is not
offered as an act Of charity or to be &C
ccpted IN that spirit. but as loan, made
as a business transaction and to be re-
turned without interest, which will en-
able many who are using every endeavor
to build for themselves home in this
new country to bridge over bad year
and continue without further interrup.
ton the work already begun.
The above is sent out by an official of
the Northern Pacific company having the
seed loan in charge. The grain will be
at the stations in due time, and the course
necessary for obtaining portion of it
made public.
